Huawei's Android Replacement OS Will Launch in June, Company Exec Says

'Huawei's home-grown operating system -- codenamed HongMeng -- that's
set to replace Android once the Huawei ban from Google comes into full
effect, will be commercially rolled out next month, a Middle East head
for the firm revealed exclusively to TechRadar Middle East. From a
report:

On May 20, Google announced that it would partially cut off Huawei
devices from its Android operating system but was given an extension
till August 19 by the US White House. "Huawei knew this was coming and
was preparing. The OS was ready in January 2018 and this was our 'Plan
B'," said Alaa Elshimy, Managing Director and Vice President of Huawei
Enterprise Business Group Middle East. "We did not want to bring the
OS to the market as we had a strong relationship with Google and
others and did not want to ruin the relationship. Now, we are rolling
it out next month'
